    You weren't sayin that a week or so ago. One European win means you're back on track? Come on now. Even your own players have admitted your problems are bigger than first thought.

    when was i not saying this? was i saying i think Everton/City/Villa are gonna replace us in the big 4 in England? Doubt it ;)

    Liverpool do not attract top players anymore.

    I think Liverpools inability to attract top players at the minute is nothing to do with our stature as a club.

    Sure we all know that all the top players care more for the CL than the PL anyway so that shouldnt be a problem.

    its cause we havent had the appropriate spending power.

    Liverpool, since the inception of the premierleague have been pretty much like Newcastle except they have a higher average league position, a few cups, and Benitez's amazing track record in the champions league.

    ah here come on outta that!

    OK, I apologise for comparing you to Newcastle, you have been far better than that. But I think it's laughable that someone would say, there isn't a big 4, there's a big two ... and Liverpool are in it!

    Glad to see the OP referring to it as the 'top 4' as opposed to the 'big 4'. Big 4 is a misnomer. There's a Big 2, Liverpool and Man U. That's it. Arsenal could claim 3rd in a 'Big' league. Everton, Spurs, Man City, Leeds, Villa would fight for the next places. Notts Forest, Chelsea, West Ham, maybe Shef Wed would be in the next rung down. Chelsea being in the 'Big 4' is a joke, they are currently in the top 4. .

    this smells of Liverpool.

    No one else lives in the past as much as them, then again, i guess it gives them something to be happy about given their current form :)

    Yeah, all Liverpool fans I know consider the last 20 years extremly successful. :D

    It's not been anywhere near as successful as some of us would have liked but 18 trophies over the last 20 years isn't exactly a bad haul is it ? Others may well have more but it's still not a bad haul..

    Find it quite hilarious how people are now refering to a top 3 and then Liverpool....were people doing the same when Arsenal were struggling to make the 4th CL spot over the last couple of years? No.

    Why not? Cause Arsenal were a squad in transition; well news for ya people: Torres-Benayoun-Babel-Arbeloa-Mascherano-Lucas....

    2 quality players.
    2 with potential.
    2 squad players at best.

    It's the other 18 players in the squad that matter just as much as the Torres's unfortunately for the Pool too many of them are not good enough for what Liverpool aspire to be.

    Arsenal struggling and achieving 4th place spending fook all money .
    Liverpool struggling and not certain of 4th place spending massive amounts of money.
    Nice comparison.

    :rolleyes:

    I don't even think it's to do with the quality of players, there's a good enough quality there with Pool it's just their manager can't seem to get the best out of those players. You don't need world-class players to have a good team that can beat other teams.
